LED Ultimate Frisbee

Hello everybody! Today, I'm going to show you how to make an LED Frisbee with Circuit Playground. Let's get right in to it!

Step 1: Parts

For the Frisbee, you will need:

Circuit Playground Dev Edition (1)

3.7v 2300mah battery (1)

Zipties (4)

3D Printer w/ PLA filament or Store-bought Frisbee

If you purchase a Frisbee, you will need a rotary tool, like a Dremel 8100.

You can also 3D print a Frisbee, files on the next step.

Step 2: Printing the Frisbee (Optional)

If you want to print your own Frisbee with holes pre-made, here's a file I made for that. If you already bought a Frisbee, just go to the next step.

***STEPS IF YOU HAVE A 3D PRINTER

Upload these files into your SD card or upload them to your printer. Keep that print time in mind when scaling the files up or down. Load the new g code files into your 3D printer (I use a PRUSA is MK2, so I just put the files onto a SD card, but if you have a wireless printer, just upload the files wirelessly). Start the print and you are done.

***STEPS FOR SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE A 3D PRINTER

First, Choose the printing service you want to use. I recommend that you use 3D hubs, since their file sharing system is very easy to use. Upload the files and chose the hub you want to use. The hubs also give you the option of filament you want to use. Most filaments would be fine for this project, just use common sense when choosing. For example, printing this crossbow in a super flexible filament would not be that great of an idea, since the functionality of a crossbow is based on having a tense frame. The site will guide you through payment and the hub will give you an estimated delivery date as well
